Outline of Final Research Achievements

Even though a parent has committed a crime, the child is not responsible. In reality, however, children whose parents have committed crimes are exposed to various mental, physical and economic disadvantages in homes, schools, societies, and the like. In this research, we divide parents' crimes into cases of abusive cases (regardless of whether they are reported to the police or not) the child itself (including family members) is a victim, and cases where the victim is other than the family, International standards centering on the Convention on the Rights of the Children, and what kind of legal support can be made from various fields including efforts by developed countries. We also examined prevention measures for abuse and the legal system for the case. In cases where parents are sitting in prison, we made proposals to Japan based on international standards regarding child rearing in the prison, visiting to the prison, etc.
